OT comments?

OK, Al...I'm going to need some help here.  I am working very hard to not freak out over the latest polling numbers.  I'm not convinced the race has changed to the point that McCain has a 5 point lead the way Zogby is reporting, but there doesn't seem to be any doubt that things have tightened a good amount.  I am working hard on my fundraiser so that keeps me focused on positives but nevertheless I find this very troubling.  I have a hard time seeing where Americans can be this stupid - again - but I don't want to delude myself either.  What's going on here?  I know the conventions are coming up and there will be a whole new round of numbers but the thought of this slipping away just kills me.

 

And on the VP front, I am convinced it's not Biden.  On Countdown last night, it was very refreshing to hear the British dude - Wolfe?? - say that this was all speculation and that nobody knows anything.  I just don't see how the Biden announcement makes any sort of splash if that's what the media is saying it's going to be.  So based on that, I think it's a decoy.  However, maybe folks really do need that old man type on the ticket to be comfortable.  I hope not but could that be part of what we're seeing with the polling?  Americans say they are sick of war and yet McCain goes out talking tough on Georgia and folks eat it up.

 

Feeling glum today...the fact that our ceiling is cut out due to a bathroom leak doesn't help.
